zoetrope: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

zoetrope CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from furkankly/zoetrope. It costs 444 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Zoetrope, a terminal and browser tool that shows Claude Code sessions as a live flow graph. They describe its Rust builds, tests, formatting, and separate browser build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building, linting, formatting, testing, and running the native or WebAssembly versions of Zoetrope.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project rules and commands needed to work on Zoetrope consistently. They also clarify that the browser part must be built separately.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is furkankly/zoetrope's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on zoetrope itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything zoetrope configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

zoetrope CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

zoetrope

Terminal UI that visualizes Claude Code agent sessions as a live flow graph. The same core also runs in the browser, compiled to wasm. Read-only, zero network.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the invariants and principles, docs/DESIGN.md for the module map and transcript format, TODO.md for the roadmap, and README.md for usage.

Running

Two crates: zoetrope at the root (the published lib + the zoe binary) and zoetrope-web in web/wasm/ (the browser frontend, publish = false, wasm32-only). The browser frontend is excluded from the root workspace and resolves as its own — it cannot be compiled for the host at all, so keeping it a member would mean permanent phantom errors in the editor. The commands below therefore only touch zoetrope; the browser frontend needs its own manifest path.

cargo build                     # native (default features)
cargo clippy                    # lint — must pass with no warnings
cargo fmt                       # format
cargo test                      # test

# the browser frontend (trunk → web/public/wasm/), lint it explicitly:
bash web/scripts/build-wasm.sh
cd web/wasm && cargo clippy   # its .cargo/config.toml defaults to wasm32

Commits

Conventional Commits, lowercase imperative subject. Scope is a module, not a file: transcript, state, graph, timeline, tailer, ui, panel, cli, wasm, web, docs.

feat(timeline): index the playhead by event instead of wall-clock
fix(tailer): fold appends at the live edge without rebuilding

cliff.toml sets filter_unconventional = true — a non-conforming commit is dropped from the changelog. Lint with committed HEAD~1..HEAD, generate with git cliff -o CHANGELOG.md.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
